Chemical composition and water permeability of fruit and leaf cuticles of Olea europaea L.

The plant cuticle, protecting against uncontrolled water loss, covers olive (Olea europaea) fruits and leaves. The present study describes the organ-specific chemical composition of the cuticular waxes and the cutin and compares three developmental stages of fruits (green, turning and black) with th...
